Decision making and uncertainty management in a 3D reconstruction system

摘要

This paper presents a control structure for a general-purpose image understanding system. It addresses the high level of uncertainty in local hypotheses and the computational complexity of image interpretation. The control of vision algorithms is done by an independent subsystem that uses Bayesian networks and utility theory to compute marginal value of information and selects the algorithm with the highest value of information. It is shown that the knowledge base can be acquired using learning techniques and the value-driven approach to the selection of vision algorithms leads to performance gains.
